166 2.5 V6

Hmmm 166 5 speed to 6 speed gearbox swap???

Right having had a quote for a clutch replacement today at £400ish (my XM cost half that, a few years ago admitedly) I'm trying to work out whether it's possible to swap my 5 speed box to a 6 (& put in a Q2 diff at the same time, may as well as I'm burning my credit card) I've been trying to make sense of the ePER but it doesn't seem to distinguish 5 & 6 speed boxes so the question is does anyone know if this is possible or has been done before? As my mechanic thinks the gear linkages are going to be a problem. I can't find any threads on here related to this although admittedly I haven't checked the 156 lounge yet any input would be appreciated
